LeBron James -- Police Escort to Jay Z Concert No Big Deal

EXCLUSIVE

The Miami-Dade Police Dept. is pooh-poohing criticism that it crossed the thin blue line last Friday by giving LeBron James a police escort to the Jay Z concert.

Dept. officials tell TMZ ... the officer who escorted LeBron has received "informal counseling" but that's it. LeBron bragged on his Instagram video that traffic was at a crawl as he followed the police car with lights ablaze down the wrong way of the street.

As we reported ... Jay Z had announced he would not start the show until LeBron arrived.
